Photophysichochemical behavior of carbazole derivatized zinc phthalocyanine in the presence of ZnO microparticles and when embedded in electrospun fibers

Zinc phthalocyanine complex tetrasubstituted with a carbazole functionality at the peripheral position (complex 4) was conjugated to zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and electrospun into fibers. The singlet oxygen quantum yield values obtained were 0.25 and 0.20 for complex 4 and 4-ZnONPs, respectively.
